Chapter Five320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx8Ghu1f2k
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT8IrgFb00
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ0gf21U97
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHeizQLNYK
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmANlsmgzpb
always succeed.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeBqZLuSj1
That is what we do, who we are.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE6mMp62M8
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM8aECWW17
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh43L7MvHg
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhnYq6HjW6
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxC9Ft3cDp
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJbraQRh09
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkP09ocVTv
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdylTGDTxFh
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRby2zFUFO
to succeed, and we always do.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEoei36iaG
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp6UnrE3UD
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WTYEs1BxG
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QNnQHwCR9
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeaATIjkG0
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrffYhaDPc
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPHHfSmpIP
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYI8qn9UBL
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqLka4FMhb
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8fewFmllD
at all times why we succeed...320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlohAhf1x
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxjr7n6327
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQqx5gxfj
with, in both time and geography.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS36ueYR7M
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WhjW2ubdH
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4HkUqVwvD
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz0YWTYiZU
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kF8qlTy7z
in the eyes.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNHNh7OkMM
Be always mindful of this.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMt9tnhaER
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQaY4h6PwH
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAi0e0zHQE
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxL9kxz265
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlStrroO7YT
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmELzLKTNL
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjeSCPvamW
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4mNlrnkt6
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpMQMtDol7
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CXm87N3Xf
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U3jUGvfGP
command.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5bXTZlq56
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W0wogzcnt
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl2BV6UGMf
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUstLHpl2V
about this.
